Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight (2024)

Post by bunniefuu »

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

BOBO: [WHISPERING] Mum says

we mustn't come creeping

into her room at night.

She says we mustn't scare her

and Dad when they are sleeping.

When I asked her why...

she said

because there's a w*r on.

We might think you're

a t*rror1st and sh**t you...

by mistake.

-[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

-[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[FLOORBOARDS CREAKING]

[CLOCK TICKING]

[FLOORBOARDS CREAKING]

[BOBO GASPING]

[WHISPERING] Van?

Van?

Van used to come with me

when I needed to pee at night.

But now that I'm seven,

I have to go by myself.

And I can't wake her up

or she'll wallop me.

So I try not to think

that a t*rror1st

is waiting in the dark for me.

With a g*n.

Or a knife.

Or a spear.

[CLOCK TICKING]

[URINATING]

I got a tick

on my down-there once.

So you have to watch out

for ticks.

[TOILET FLUSHING]

But mostly you have

to watch out for t*rrorists.

Any African can be a t*rror1st.

So you're not supposed to talk

to Africans about anything.

Just in case they're t*rrorists

or they're mates with one.

Bobo.

Shut up.

If you wake up Mum and Dad,

I'm telling them it wasn't me.

Why do t*rrorists

chop off your lips?

Shut up.

Do you think it hurts?

[SIGHS] I'll let you sleep

with Fred if you just shut up.

[BOBO SIGHS]

[MOANING, SNORTING]

Disgusting.

No wonder you always have worms.

[WHISPERING] Van's so mean.

[GASPS]

[WATCH OUT BY WELLS FARGO

On four winds

That I might fly

Rain and sun to touch me

Yeah, when the clouds cry

Oh, yeah

Watch out

Big storm is coming

There's thunder

and lightning

You better hold on



[CHILDREN SHOUTING PLAYFULLY]



Watch out

Big storm a-coming

There's thunder

and lightning

You better hold on

[SONG ENDS]

-[INSECTS TRILLING]

-[BIRDS CHIRPING]

BOBO: Africans and Whites

aren't the same.

When a White baby dies,

you go to church

and say the Our Father.

And you bury the baby

and that baby goes to heaven.

Then the grown-ups

get drunk and it's over.

And you're not supposed

to make a fuss.

But when

an African baby dies,

they leave presents

for their Ancestors

and they ask them to

look after the dead baby.

And then that dead baby

won't be confused and become

a coming-back baby.

That's what Sarah said.

I was scared

when I heard that

because I had a sister

that died.

[WHISPERING]

What if she comes back?

I wish I could go to her grave

and just make sure

she stays in there.

[HUMMING QUIETLY]

BOBO: On our farm,

we live with Sarah and Jacob.

Africans don't have last names.

They just have first names.

With White grown-ups,

we have to call them

Aunty This or Uncle That.

But you don't have to do that

with Africans,

which is much easier.

[SONG PLAYING IN OTHER LANGUAGE]

MAN: [OVER RADIO]

This is the Voice of Zimbabwe

broadcasting on the Radio

Mozambique in Maputo.

[RADIO CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

Where's my porridge?

Can't you see I'm busy?

Today I went to the graves.

I told you

to stay away from there.

No, I didn't go into it,

I promise.

I just rode past.

-I didn't.

-Mmm.

Let me look into your eyes

to see if you are lying

or telling the truth.

BOBO: That tickles.

[LAUGHING] That tickles.

Do you think Euros can

have coming-back babies?

I hope I'm not

a coming-back baby.

Euros are different to Africans.

Africans have eyes to see

what the Whites cannot see.

No.

I can see everything.

I can see your eyes.

I can see your face.

I can see your...

hands.

Hey, Jacob, where's my porridge?

MAN: [OVER RADIO] ...and if

this is not forthcoming,

I'm sure they'll be prepared

that they continue the w*r.

MAN: [OVER TV]

...the atrocities

in the guerrilla w*r.

It happened

at a British-run mission

near Umtali

in Eastern Rhodesia.

Twelve Whites,

including missionaries,

their wives and children,

were dragged

into a nearby field

and m*rder*d

with a savagery

that was horrifying

even by the standards

of this brutal w*r.

The butchery

was widely assumed

to be the work of guerrillas

belonging to Robert Mugabe's...

SARAH: [SPEAKING SHONA]

...which is based

across the border

in Mozambique.

[NEW WORLD IN THE MORNING

BY ROGER WHITTAKER PLAYING]

[SIGHS]



[GROANS]

Everybody talks about

A new world in the morning

New world in the morning

So they say

I myself don't talk about

-Morning, Dad.

-Morning, Chookies.

A new world in the morning

New world in the morning,

that's today

And I can feel

a new tomorrow comin' on

And I don't know

why I have to make a song

Sleep okay?

Like a log.

Everybody talks about...

SARAH: [SPEAKING SHONA]

[SIGHS]

morning takes so long...

SARAH: [SPEAKING SHONA]

-[SPEAKING SHONA]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

I met a man who had a dream

he'd had since he was 20

I met him when he was 81...

God, sorry about the mess.

Can you have Jacob

bring me my tea, please?

[SARAH'S BREATH TREMBLING]

Don't they know

tomorrow never comes...

BOBO: Dad! Mum shot a snake.

It's dead.

It's all over the kitchen.

-[MUSIC STOPS]

-Anything left of the kitchen?

I think Mum's an excellent shot.

[RADIO STATIC CRACKLING]

MAN: [OVER RADIO]

...and her Tory Government

will leave

at the earliest possible moment

so that the Labour Party can

repair the damage done by them.

-NICOLA: Hello.

-[DOG PANTING]

Oh, I think

I'm allergic to brandy.

Maybe you're allergic

to the whole bottle of brandy.

-NICOLA: [GASPS] That wasn't me.

-[GIGGLING]

TIM: It wasn't me either.

[SIGHS] I swear I had two packs.

Who's been stealing my f*gs?

MAN: [OVER RADIO] A farm on

the eastern border near Umtali

was attacked

on Thursday evening.

Four family members

and their two dogs were k*lled.

That's what I worry about.

You don't need to worry.

You don't know that, Nic.

[RADIO CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

-[DOG WHINES]

-Oh, my God.

TIM: Bloody dogs.

[CHUCKLES] I swear,

one of these days...

NICOLA: Oh, darling.

He didn't just speak

that way about you?

sh*t, here's a tick.

-Yuck.

-BOBO: Mum...

Can I... Can I...

Did the tick pop?

TIM: Bobo, go call Vanessa.

-Did the tick pop?

-Bobo.

Van!

-[GROANS]

-Van!

Bobo, good God.

What?

But Dad told me to call her.

That's me.

[GRUNTING]

Thank you, Chookies.

Bye, Dad.

Bye, Dad.

[MEN TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

BOBO: [WHISPERING]

If you love me,

you'll turn around.

Bye, Dad.

[WHISPERING]

Turn around, turn around.

Turn around.

[IMITATING g*nshots]

Got you.

You bunch of bloody buggers.

You shits.

You f*ck. You...

f*ck.

[VANESSA SNIFFLING]

It died.

NICOLA: I told you

not to sleep with them.

Oh, for God's sake, Vanessa,

just put it in the boiler

or bury it.

I don't want the dogs

digging it up.

It's not fair on the chicks

if you sleep with them.

Did it die?

-VANESSA: Just go away. Go away!

-Let me see, Van!

Van.

[SIGHS]

Which one?

I'm telling.

BOBO: I don't care.

SARAH: [CLICKS TONGUE] Give.

Give.

Give it to me.

What is this?

This is not what a little girl

should be doing.

Even a little boy.

There's something wrong

with you.

Can you put your hand

all the way

to touch your other ear?

-[GRUNTS]

-Mmm.

See?

You know what that means?

That means you are too young

to go to boarding school

and you are too young

to be smoking.

That's what we say.

There's nothing wrong with me.

I'm perfect.

Perfect? Huh.

[SARAH GRUNTS, CLICKS TONGUE]

Tell me a story.

Not today, Bobo.

Not today.

[BOBO HUMMING]





BOBO:

When we go to town,

we have to drive in the convoy,

so the Army guys

can keep us safe

from ambushes and landmines.



Until last year,

the country we live in

was called Rhodesia.

But then some Africans said

they found it first

and the Euros stole it

from them.

But then those Africans

turned into t*rrorists

and that's how

the w*r started.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER

OUTSIDE]

NICOLA: What is going on?

BOBO:

In case there's an ambush,

I always make sure

before we go to town,

I'm wearing clean undies

and my lucky bean necklace.

Just remember, if you swallow

one of those, you're a goner.

Don't ever put it in your mouth.

BOBO: I keep

a lookout for t*rrorists.

[GASPS]

NICOLA:

What's taking so long?

Sorry for the holdup, Ma'am.

They found two mines

on the road outside of town.

BOBO:

That girl Linda

had her leg blown off

in a landmine.

I really hope we don't die

in an ambush today.

[ENGINES STARTING]

[YESU WANGU WADIWA

PLAYING IN SHONA]





Bye!



NICOLA: Bloody look

at that, honestly?

b*stards!

[SCOFFS]

BOBO:

The elections are very serious.

Mum and Dad and everyone

says the Bishop

is the only chance we've got.

'Cause even though

he's an African,

he's not like a real African.

They call Mugabe "The Rooster."

Mum says he's a Commie b*stard.

If he wins the elections,

everyone says they'll

probably have to gap it

to Australia or something.

[CROWD CHATTER]

[HORN HONKING]

[CROWD CHATTER CONTINUES]

[MAN 1 SPEAKING SHONA]

[CLUCKING]

[CROWD SINGING]

If we lose, are we gonna become

Commies or just stay normal?

NICOLA:

Nothing's changing, Bobo.

Okay?

[THE LAST FAREWELL

BY ROGER WHITTAKER PLAYING]



There's a ship lies rigged

and ready in the harbor

Tomorrow for old England

she sails

Far away from your land

of endless sunshine

To my land full

of rainy skies and gales

And I shall be aboard

that ship tomorrow

Though my heart is full

of tears at this farewell...

[SONG CONTINUES QUIETLY

IN BACKGROUND]

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING OVER TV]

NEWSMAN: In Rhodesia

where the first

free and fair elections

are taking place,

scores of people continue

to line up to cast their vote.

Election officials say that

they are extending the hours

that the polls will be open

to ensure

-that every citizen...

-[GRANDFATHER MUTTERING]

...gets the opportunity

to have their voice heard.

There have been

some allegations

of voting intimidation

with Lord Soames

accusing ZANU-PF

of intimidating voters

in 23 of the 56 districts

of the colony...

[GRANDFATHER MUTTERING]

Prime Minister Ian Smith

responded to this

saying that every Zimbabwean

has the inalienable right

to self-determination.

IAN SMITH: [OVER TV]

The government here,

run by the Black people

for the Black people...

NICOLA: Hello, Maggie.

How are you?

MAGGIE: Very well.

NICOLA: You know you have to

vote for Muzorewa, Maggie.

You must tell all your friends

to vote for the Bishop too.

MAGGIE: Yes, uh,

Bishop Muzorewa.

-I know.

-NICOLA: Good.

GRANDMOTHER:

Thank you, Maggie.

[g*nshots]

MAN: [OVER TV]

If the t*rrorists go on

k*lling innocent people,

mainly Black...

[TV CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

GRANDMOTHER:

Just listen to that.

Did you hear that?

Everywhere is such

a bloody c*ck-up.

It's meant to be a ceasefire.

[SIGHS] I just can't wait

until we win

this bloody election.

Can I have this?

No.

What about when you die?

You never know

the way things are.

You might die soon.

[NICOLA CHUCKLING]

I just think we should

put it in your will...

[WHISPERING] I just think she

should put it in her will.

Okay. Shh, stop.

[GRANDFATHER MUTTERING]

[MUTTERING CONTINUES]

GRANDMOTHER: Be quiet, Peter.

BOBO:

Grandpa doesn't speak anymore.

He just makes strange sounds.

[WHISPERING] And he has

to wear a nappy.

Mum's had four babies

in her life

but there's just

two of us left.

Olivia had blue eyes

and her hair

was straighter than mine.

That's when Mum

was still happy.

GRANDMOTHER: I just don't know

what this local government

is thinking.

GRANDMOTHER: I mean

the way things are going...

Are we racists?

What? Certainly not.

Some people are but we're not.

Where would you get that idea?

On the radio?

Well, let's just hope

the majority think like Maggie

and they don't bite

the hand that feeds them.

Let's watch

the cricket, shall we?

Much more pleasant.

Mum, I can't stay very long.

I have a shift at Paulington

at noon.

And I have to get

the afternoon convoy back.

[SNIFFS]

[SNIFFING]

God, what is

that terrible smell?

Nicola, when was the last time

this child had a bath?

At least have her nanny

wash her hair.

I mean, really!

[BOBO CHUCKLING]

[GIGGLING]

Why can't we read

naughty magazines?

Because we aren't

those sort of people.

Then why do we have a picture

of one in our bathroom?

It was probably meant

to be a joke.

What sort of joke?

What sort of people

are we then?

We have breeding...

Which is better

than having money.

I'd rather have money.

Anyone can have money.

Yeah, but we don't.

-Hmm.

-[CLOCK CHIMING]

[HUMMING NEARBY]

[HUMMING CONTINUES]

[HUMMING STOPS]

GRANDMOTHER:

No, put that down.

-Oh, for God's sake!

-[OBJECT CLATTERING]

Nicola!

You better get going

or you're not going to make

your shift on time.



NICOLA: Come on, Bobo.

Come along.

BOBO: When Mum

has to be a policeman,

I go with her.

There's an army alphabet

on the wall.

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie,

Delta, Echo...

Foxtrot, all the way

to Zulu.

I have 26 horses

named after it

and I gallop them

around inside my head.

NICOLA: Grand Reef,

this is Paulington HQ.

Do you read? Over.

[RADIO STATIC CRACKLING]

Mum?

What happens if the army guys

get there and everyone's dead?

Then they're a bit late,

aren't they?

[BOBO GRUNTS]

[MAN SHOUTING IN DISTANCE]

[MAN SCREAMING]



[BOBO GASPS]



NICOLA: Bobo,

come inside right now.

BOBO:

When Dad is away,

a Brightlight comes

and stays on the farm.

Brightlights are guys

that are too messed up to be

in the army anymore.

Mum says they're all thick.

[WHISPERING]

Mum hates thick people.

But Dad says it's better to

have them than be on our own.

We're women without men now,

which is a bad state

of affairs.

[DOOR OPENING]

-Why doesn't he talk?

-[DOOR CLOSING]

[WHISPERING]

I think he's asleep.

BOBO: Bubbles!

You can sleep in the shed

back there.

[KNIFE CHOPPING]

Does this hurt?

What are you playing with there?

Do you like it?

Where do you get that?

Down by the graves.

JACOB: That doesn't

belong to you.

BOBO: Yes, it does. I found it.

-Finders keepers.

-They are not for you to take.

[SPEAKING SHONA]

get Sarah into trouble one day.

Maybe you don't understand

how serious this is.

Because you were born

in a different country.

I'm still African.

No, you are not.

Mum says everyone

has a right to be here.

Your mum doesn't know

what she's talking about.

Hey, my dad bought this farm

with his own money, okay?

I could fire you if I want.

Stop it, Bobo.

BOBO:

Jacob's a bloody idiot.

In Van's history book,

there are pictures

of Mashona warriors

wearing skins and feathers.

These days, t*rrorists just

dress up as normal Africans.

But then, they come

crawling on their bellies,

secret in the night.

They come to take

their land back.

What are you going to do, Mum?

If I find somebody who's cut

my fences, I'll sh**t them.

Oh.

Mum says

she'll die for this land.

She says

if she doesn't have a g*n,

she'll fight for the farm

with her bare hands.

[WHISPERING] I believe her.

[CATTLE BELLOWING]

NICOLA: sh*t.

BOBO: Can I see?

Mum, can I look?

NICOLA: Damn it.

[BELLOWING]

Some of them are quite fat.

Yeah, on my grazing.

Mum?

Am I African?

No, Bobo.

Are you?

No.

Is it because we don't have

brown skin? Black skin?

It's complicated.

Is it because

we weren't born here?

No.



BOBO: Sarah says

her Ancestors are magic.

I can do magic, too.

I can close my eyes halfway

and make everything disappear.



I think I am African.

I know I'm not English.

And I am not from the sea.

Lucy in The Lion, the Witch

and the Wardrobe

came from the snow.

I think I came from the sun.





[BOBO HUMMING]

I wonder where they got that.

VANESSA: Probably

from some refugee.

I hope they didn't

steal one of our cattle.

[CRUNCHING]

It's her afternoon off.

for an African.

-Nothing.

-Yeah,

you're doing magic again.

Are your Ancestors magic?

I bet you they can't do this.

I'm closing my eyes

almost all the way.

And I can make you disappear

like I am now.

SARAH: But I'm still here.

If your Ancestor magic

is so strong,

ask them to send you gold.

-Lots and lots of gold.

Then you can be rich and then

become the queen of Zimbabwe.

And then you can give me some.

Yes.

Can you tell me

the story about the person...

human that keeps on

Once upon a time,

there was Mwari,

and there was also Human,

Animal, Plant and Earth.

Everyone got along

with everyone else.

All of nature as one family.

No one knew about death then

but it sounded very, very bad.

What do you think dying

feels like?

I do not think of such things.

I do.

Please finish the story.

One day, Human got tired

of being only as powerful

as the waterfall or the leopard.

"I am going to be more powerful

than everyone else.

"I am going to start

a new world for myself."

[SARAH SPEAKS SHONA]

So...

he started to chop down

the trees, even the Ebony trees.

He eat the kudu and the impala.

And he even peed in the water.

Hey. It is not funny.

But he peed in the water

that everyone had to drink.

If you want me

to tell you holy stories,

you cannot laugh

at these things.

Sorry, I won't do it again.

It's just how you said it.

Please carry on telling me.

MAN: [OVER RADIO]

Mr. Robert Mugabe,

the Marxist ZANU-PF leader

looks as if he has walked away

with the Rhodesian election.

Predictions

in Salisbury tonight

are that he will get

an overall majority.

That's 51 seats or more,

in the 100-seat assembly.

Lord Soames, Mr. Mugabe

and General Peter Walls,

Rhodesia's supreme

military commander,

appealed for calm

as tension rises

in the country

over the final result.

The Rhodesian security

Commander, General Walls,

the man most likely to appeal

to disappointed

Rhodesian Whites,

also asked for calm tonight.

His message in a moment.

First, what Lord Soames

had to say to all Rhodesians.

SOAMES: What matters now

is that Zimbabwe...

This is still our farm.

Oh, grow up, Bobo.

Don't talk to me like that.

The farm's special to Mum.

And to me.

Why are you defending her?

-She doesn't even like you.

-TIM: Vanessa.

-Yes, she does.

-No, she doesn't.

TIM: Stop that!

Can't wait for school to start

so that I can get away

from this place.

MAN: [OVER RADIO]

...will be no violent action

or reaction of any kind.

She also removes

For Patricia

is the best stripper in town

And with a swing

She started to strip

To tremendous applause

She took off her drawers

And with a lick of her lips

She undid all her clips

And threw it all in the air

And everybody stared

And as the last piece of

his God breath,

but his bones

will be returned to you

from whence they were forged.

They will lie

in your embrace forever."

And so it is.

We humans in the end.

Our God breath

goes back to Mwari

and our bones return

to Mother Earth.

And all our lives,

we are cursed with

separation and loneliness...

and longing.
